Hi,
I have developed a web service in PHP using NuSOAP. I want some form of
security for this WS, so I've put it in a directory which is password
protected, using an htaccess file. The authentication type is Basic.
Now I'm developing a client app, written in C#, to consume this web service,
but I'm having a bit of trouble to access it. I've done something similar to
the example I found at MSDN
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...-us/cpguide/ht
ml/cpconsecuringaspnetwebservices.asp) to send the necessary credentials to
the webserver. Here's my code to send the username and password, the
VrlAdministration class was generated by the wsdl tool:
VrlAdministration vrladmin = new VrlAdministration;
CredentialCache credentialCache = new CredentialCache();
NetworkCredential credentials = new NetworkCredential(txtUsername.Text,
txtPasword.Text);
credentialCache.Add(new Uri(vrladmin.Url), "Basic", credentials);
vrladmin.Credentials = credentialCache;
I keep getting an "HTTP 400: Bad Request" response from the web server. I
know that there must be something going wrong while sending the credentials,
because when I call the web service when the password protection is off, I
do get the desired result.
What can I do to solve this? And is it even possible to access a directory
which is protected by an htaccess file? Or can I only use this method when
the webserver is running IIS (which is not an option, our webhosting is on a
Linux platform with the usual Apache-PHP-MySQL configuration. It's been
payed for, and I don't want the hassle of cancelling our account,
transferring the domainname,...)?
